I debriged one of mine just to see what all the fuss was about, didn't care for it. I like my bridged attys much more for dripping. I also got the occasional pops of juice with it debridged, never happened to with the same atty before I removed it. I did find you can't put as much juice in debridged so that might be the issue. You basically have to drip and puff, drip and puff, to much of a pain for me. I can drip with a bridged one, get the same flavor and many more draws in before I have to drip again.
